London baby!

My trip started in London, where I met up with  my favourite kiwis of this world - Nathan and Fearn.
Just for the record - Nathan is a performer who can juggle thousands of balls at once and Fearn is his beautiful daughter and assistant. Fearn is 13 but is surprisingly intelligent, in many cases she´s more intelligent than her dad :)

Here´s Nathan and Fearn trying out my favourite Crab Lollipops. 

These cool people happen to be from very very far - New Zealand so it is unlikely that I am going to see them much this year. We have done some touristy stuff in London, as well as not so touristy stuff and the next day we left to two very different directions. Spain and NZ. Saying goodbye is a sad and annoying thing but paraphrasing Russian writter Leo Tolstoy - you will  find the happiness only knowing what real tears are like!

Looking forward to seeing you guys!

Travel light

This is the The Flight of Bee! I fly and I fly and I fly and then I go home for a while. Because I love my home. But then I must fly again, it´s just what I must do! Enough for the intro. I have some exciting things to tell.

Ages ago I saw this movie called Up in the air. It had George Clooney in it who played a role of some sort of a business man flying from state to state in the USA firing people who worked for some massive company. The movie itself was not a fantastic piece of cinema, but what caught my eye was that he could pack everything he needed in a small piece of luggage. Surely he never needed much and he would always say 'Travel light', which I can´t get out of my head ever since.

So I was thinking and thinking and rethinking again: what does a traveller actually need? 2 things came to my mind. Passport and money. With these two you can go anywhere in the world and do absolutely everything you want. Luggage only complicates your life, epecially if you´re travelling far, if you need to change flights, go by busses, hitchhike, ect. So using my logical thinking and making sensible decicions of what I really need - I managed to pack my life into 10 kg worth of hand luggage. And I left. For one year!
